Having a weird existential crisis this morning. It’s happened before but each time it feels less like I’m gonna get out of it. I’m very lucky and fortunate, I have great family, some good friends, a dog and am physically healthy, enjoy walking swimming etc. Have a good job, am in the process of buying my own house. But I feel like there’s no point, questioning whether everything I do is just for others approval or respect, and honestly, suicidal thoughts start creeping in because feeling like this is just really miserable and makes me spiral into self loathing (too fat) and feelings of complete despair. I’ve had therapy in the past and I take antidepressants but still this happens every now and then. It feels really bad today

I also feel like the only time I feel ‘happy’ recently is when I’m eating and just chilling out in front of the tv or something. Which isn’t great when I would like to lose some weight for both physical and mental health reasons

I feel like this sometimes too. I found it helped getting a hormone tracker app called moody month. The low moods correspond to particular times in the month and it was comforting to me to understand and predict them. Might help. BiscuitThanks

Didn't mean to do the biscuit emoji. Sorry.
